Comparison of infinitesimal and finite locus models for long-term breeding simulations with direct and maternal effects at the example of honeybees.
Stochastic simulation studies of animal breeding have mostly relied on either the infinitesimal genetic model or finite polygenic models. In this study, we investigated the long-term effects of the chosen model on honeybee breeding schemes. We implemented the infinitesimal model, as well as finite l...
